  "summary": "Former Yesh Atid MK Yoav Segalovich is joining the United Arab List slate, also known as Ra'am Party, ahead of the 2026 Israeli election. According to the Jerusalem Post, Segalovich had recently resigned from the Knesset and departed from the Yesh Atid Party.\n\nRa'am Party leader MK Mansour Abbas and Segalovich announced their partnership in a joint press conference. The Jerusalem Post notes that the addition of a Jewish candidate to the party's list may make Ra'am a more viable coalition partner.\n\nSegalovich, a former police commander and lawmaker, aims to break down political divides between Jewish and Arab Israelis, as per Haaretz. He had previously worked on combating violence in Arab society during the Bennett-Lapid government.",
